No, is the current state of Pharo Launcher UI. I did not touch to this part 
but, yes, could be improved.

I did this change after a small survey on pharo launcher users that were, like 
me, bothered with previous proposed names: in most cases, they only want the 
name of their project. That could be discussed but now, in your example, you 
get 60121 that is still descriptive. Here, we should find the best proposition 
for most users, will not for to all.

Pharo launcher is now shipped with both vm (pre-spur and spur). The cog-spur vm 
now powered PharoLauncher and should be used to run spur images. If not, maybe 
you have a wrong setting for it. If you remove settings for both VM it should 
work. Maybe I should remove these settings since both VMs are now shipped with 
the launcher app. I do not know if it is relevant to some of you to use another 
VM than the default ones.

Thanks for the feedback.
